Cabinet' Postpones
NSA Bill of Rights
All-College Cabinet .Thursday' night postponed indefinitely a
recommendation that cabinet “implement” the proposed National
Student Association bill ol rights on the Penn State campus.
The proposal was included in the recommendations to cabinet
regarding NSA from All-College Vice-president Harry Cover.
Approval to the other points of the recommendatidns as
amended was given after-lengthy
parliamentary wrangling and de
bate. ,
>By postponing indefinitely the
“implementation’’ section of _ the
recommendations, cabinet elimi
nated consideration, of it. For
further action it must b’e re-intro
duced.
The parliamentary move was in
stituted by Clair George, after
Marvin Krasnansky explained
that cabinet would be implement
ing a .bill which itself had not
been accepted by cabinet.
George and Krasnansky both
suggested that cabinet first study
the proposed bill of rights to see
if they i are applicable to, Penn
State. - '
The text of the disputed NSA
bill of rights was published this
week in the Daily Collegian.,
The first point in. the recom
mendations, asked cabinet to send
student government personnel to
all regional and national USNSA
meetings that are open to delegate
attendance.
The section of the recommenda
tion which designated that the
delegates to the Fourth National
Congress should be held respon
sible to attend.. All regional meet
ings, was amended to read that
cabinet retains the responsibility
for appointing delegates to the re
gional NSA meetings.
Cover, in support of his original
recommendation, said that the na
tional delegates, NSA Chairman
William Klisonin , and himself,
had seen the National Congress at
work and were advised of NSA
national policy and activities. He
said experienced delegates were
necessary if cabinet were to re
ceive competent reports of the
meetings.
It was also pointed out to cab
inet, however, that it might wish
to delegate a junior to attend the
regional meetings, to gain exper
ience.
The third point of the recom
mendations as presented by
Cover urges cabinet “to instruct
the NS A chairman on campus to
work with' the newly organized
student government representa
tive of USNSA to a greater extent
and to de-emphasize the stress, so,
clearly shown on the National
Congress on International Affairs
and other such areas of endeavor.”
Cabinet acceptance was’ given
point three as recommended.

•'Crochet Family
The plot concerns the Crochet
family, a poor Louisiana Cajun,

best when it is content to delve
into the personalities of its mem

Goodrich and Albert Hackett,
have so far succeeded in making
the family a believable one that
the completely outlandish end

seem,even more out of place than
they would ordinarily be.

PRICE FIVE CENTS
By JIM GROMILLER
Traffic flowed smoothly on
Shortlidge road during the early
hours last night, but the ex
perimental one-way traffic plan
was not expected to have had
its real test until about 1 a.in.
The ability of the plan to alevi
ate the gnarled traffic on Short
lidge road when the women re
turn to the dormitories at la.m.
could not be determined before
then.
The experimeptal system which
permits traffic to move north
only on Shortlidge road between
6. p.m. and 2 a.m. will be in effect
again tonight. Next week the de
partment of physical plant will
decide if the new system should
be continued. According to pres
ent plans, however, normal two
way traffic will be resumed at
2 a.m. tomorrow and remain in
effect until further notice.
Comment Favorable
Comment on the experimental
system for the most part was
favorable, although many stu
dents, when interviewed early
last night, said they would rather
wait to see if it eliminated the
tieup at 1 a.m. before passing
judgment. One student said the
plan had a definite advantage of
permitting parking along both
sides of Shortlidge road, which
in his mind more than made up
for the inconvenience of using an
other route to reach College ave- v
nue from the campus.
In Effect Too Early
Several students, though favor
able to the one-way system as a
whole, said they doubted the ne
cessity of putting it into effect
so early in the evening. They
said that since no real tie up is
present until late at - night, the
one-way system was not neces
sary so early.
A number of cars turned south
on Shortlidge road when leaving
the parking lot in back of Grange.
Signs announcing' the one-way
system, however, had not been
erected at the exit to the lot,
and many drivers apparently
were unaware of the new sys
tem.
The experimental plan was an
nounced Monday by Walter Wei
gand, director of physical plant,
